Do we need to hire a coordinator?

We do not require a professional coordinator. However, the Spohn does not include a dedicated wedding planner. Our Event Manager is responsible for all things related to the building and is available for any questions your vendors or guests may have. They are not responsible for the tasks pertaining to the wedding party, timeline, etc.

Are linens included in the rental fee?

As each event is unique, linens and napkins are not included in your rental fee. Clients can rent linens from any rental company in the area, a member of our team is able to help order and secure linens from a local vendor.

Yes! Our team is happy to share our Preferred Vendor list with you. We do not require that you use vendors from our list. Build your dream vendor team for your event!

Outside catering and bartending companies are allowed, as long as they have an active catering and/or bartending license. These vendors must also list “The Spohn” (or whatever our LLC name is) as additionally insured.
